>> look, hillary clinton is someone that my union has supported for every single job that she is either run for or sought. when she ran for senate in new york state, we were out there and very supportive. when she ran for president in 2008 we're out there and very supportive. i think it's far too early to talk about any of this. first off, the last i heard, she hasn't even decided whether she's running or not. so i just think it's too premature. there's a lot of work we have to do between now and 2014, 2015. and so we are really spending our time trying to figure how to reclaim the promise of public education, how to make sure that quality health care is something that all americans have, and getting through the ups and downs of obamacare. i'm glad the website is working better now. but about affordable college, making sure that there's retirement security for all as opposed to going in the direction we're going. there's a lot of work to do between '14 and '15 before we get to 16. >> i wanted to get your thoughts on detroit yesterday. curious what you heard from your members in michigan

we are here at this wonderful clinton library, and i want to bring this back to president clinton, if i can. you know, there are more than 40 paces between the situation in the oval office. rarely do national security advisers get fired if things go wrong. but president did get thrown out of office if things go wrong. and i can assure you there was no more appetite for american boots on the ground in 1995 than there is in 2013. we have gone to somalia. we didn't have a great experience in haiti. there was no appetite in the country for putting 25,000, or 20,000 troops into bosnia, even in the context of a peace agreement. most people couldn't tell you where policy was on a map. inevitably, the peace agreement would be shaky. and it was an extraordinarily courageous decision i think, and we would not have had peace. that was the centerpiece of the in game. because once we said we will be there to enforce it, that was the key decision. then the parties had confidence that maybe a peace agreement actually could last. so it does ultimately come down i think to presidential leadership here
